de Reina Whaitiri, Sullivan, Robert

"From the chanted songs and oratory of traditional culture, to engagement with the English language in the nineteenth century, and on into the cultural revival of the late twentieth century, Māori have always been deeply engaged with poetic forms. In this book, two leading Māori poets collect the major Māori poetic voices in English together in a pioneering anthology. This will be the first collection of poetry in English written and edited entirely by Māori . The anthology collects work from the many iwi and hapu of Aotearoa as well as Māori living in Australia and around the world. Poets featured include Rore Hapipi, Marewa Glover, Rangi Faith, Keri Hulme, Robert Sullivan, Hinewirangi Kohe, Trixie Menzies, Kellyana Morey, Brian Potiki, Roma Potiki, Apirana Taylor, Michael O'Leary, Hinemoana Baker, Bub Bridger and others"--Publisher's website.
